Last Night

We have made it! It is now the night before the big day. Kim, James and I drove down to Phoenix yesterday. It was tough saying goodbye to the kids, especially LJ who is only 2 and doesn't know why mom and dad are leaving. The girls are taking this all very well. I explained to them that it's ok to be nervous. We are all nervous, but we aren't scared. Daddy and mommy are going to be just fine.

We took our time driving to Phoenix and had a nice last meal. We stayed the night at a little hotel on the hospital grounds. It's really just a hallway of rooms inside a medical plaza, but it's right next to the hospital. We will be staying there again when we get released.

We got a great call first thing this morning saying that not only are James and I totally compatable, but also that our surgery has been moved up to 7:00am. That means we need to check in at 5:00am. I'm so glad we don't have to sit in pre-op all day.

James and I are nervous, but mostly just grateful that this has worked out and it almost over. "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow..."
